1965 Map of Powder Mill Ferry

About this map

Powder Mill Ferry and the surrounding Current River corridor dominate this mid-century survey of the Shannon County backcountry. The map documents a landscape defined by its hydrogeology, where massive springs like Blue Spring, Powder Mill Spring, and Marvel Spring emerge from the base of steep hills. This era reflects the early integration of the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, showing the transition of the river from a local industrial and transport artery to a protected recreational corridor.
